This is a great resource for helping students learn to use Web search tools. It not only covers some basics on conducting targeted, efficient searchs (e.g., use of Boolean operators), but it also provides information on how to improve searches using specific engines. Even better, the site includes exercises to allow the students to practice their search skills! My only concern is that the site hasn't been updated since June '01, although links were checked as of February '02. As a result, some new developments (e.g., options in Google) aren't mentioned. Still, this is a fine page to which I will refer students.

I use this Web resource as a reference when I am teaching my introductory-level students how to search effectively and efficiently on the Web. Because the ״workshop" includes general information on search strategies along with helpful links to some of the more popular search engines and portals, my students have told me they find this site something they refer back to time and time again.
